Yes correct, a 20 by 30 inch poster from arguably the best venue in the world :-) My earliest poster is March 63 but I have never published that anywhere. People are welcome to come see it though and I will probably publish it in a project soon. The August 63 one in the Grrrr boxed set came from me too.

As my cricket coach used to say... “catches win matches”.
I kept one pick per show and gave the rest away. Note the rare blue pearl with Red Tongue! The Sticks were both clean caught on Ronnie’s side, one in Dusseldorf and the other at Paris II.

Yes, your Mick is rather sloppy but the tongue is great.
Back in 2000 I was scoring in person Ronnie autographs in London at least once a week. After asking for the Woody face the first few times Ronnie just used to do it for me :-) He's typically super careful and takes time to place his autograph nicely on a piece. I have a bunch with tongues too and loads of dedicated ones which I really love. Collecting is definitely an addiction. In 2000 Ronnie was living in London and out partying all the time as well as having the Harrington Club (that was like shooting fish in a barrel). I got Mick there a few times and Keith there once too. It was actually the first time I ever got Keith to sign. Hilariously Ronnie acted as my assistant and got Keith to do six for me!
This is my favourite item from that night, the 19th of December 2000. They had been due the night before but sadly that was the day Freddy Sessler passed. I gave them both a copy of the Kilburn bootleg and they signed mine. Ronnie of course later released it officially.
When I dig out the other 50 I'll post that too...

Palace Revolution 2000.
"I don't think I ever realized how much work you put into this Matt; that you are out there hustling up the signatures. Hats Off.
And, that you are the one catching those damn stix'n pix too, LOL"
I was starting my career I was living in London on £1,100 net so I didn't have the money to go out partying. I spent over 150 nights often in the cold and rain waiting for hours and hours. After many, many, many meetings being polite and respectful, never pushing or crowding and only ever being in public places (i.e. not their homes) as well as giving Ronnie loads of things he liked; he asked me in ;-)
I caught my first pick at the B-Stage in Sheffield 99 from Keith. By Licks I perfected my catching skills and averaged more than one a show, by bigger bang Ronnie was feeding them to me so that doesn't count...

Yes ;-) It's 18 years down the track. I am 9.5 years into my own business that I started with my best buddy and £1,000. This month we break through 100 employees. In 2013 we took the whole company to see the show at Hyde Park (we were only 30 odd people then).
I am only at the beginning of my car collecting journey. I always end up thinking about how much great Stones stuff I can get get with the money.
Here is my favourite signed guitar, the eagle eyed will spot that the Ronnie signed Some Girls Poster too (it says "A big fat one from Ronnie in drag")
